Here's the ever-lovely Lady Ketsia (Kat), at the MD Renaissance Festival.
The picture was taken in the vacinity of the White Hart Tavern, and in the
background you can see the tent for one of the glass-workers. By the way,
did I mention just how lovely she is?

Closing weekend at the MD Renaissance festival often brings out a
lot of wierdness. In fact, the group of people I hang out with
(known as the "DC Otters" which is a subset of the AFRians) usually
has what we call the "Day of Wrong" on closing day of the faire.
Well, I spotted this a day early (saturday), and thought it sufficiently
funny for a picture. :)

Also on the saturday of closing weekend at MDRF, I ran into a bunch of
robots, complete with sounds effects, and silvery materials. They were
gracious enough to swing around when I complained about the angle of the
sun, and hence I got a decent picture despite the tree cover. :)

On closing weekend, we managed to go out to dinner with one of the
bands that was performing at the faire. In the near end of the table
are some of our faire-friends. At the opposite end, some of the band
members are visible. In the center, at the head of the table, was
Owain Phyfe himself... an absolutely amazing singer and guitarist who
doesn't play any songs that are younger than 300 years old... he's also
fluent and sings in at least 7 languages... Absolutely amazing.

The ever-lovely Kat, on the "Day of Wrong", aka Closing-Day at MD Renaissance
Festival. Many of us dress up in garb that contains at least one thing that
is completely wrong... be it an out of period item, something made with
modern materials, etc. In this case, she wore a bodice made of duct tape,
and a skirt with a chili-pepper design. :)

Also on the day of wrong, I wore my armor with a surcoat made with a blue
sparkly/sequin material with gold trim. I also had a santa-hat on my
helmet, which is not shown in this picture. It was as if I was one giant
christmas-tree ornament. :) And yes, I chose that particular spot to
hang the coconut-shells on purpose... they were my well-hung nuts. :)
